Day 4 Polyatomic Ions

In a perfect world atoms would only combine to make either ionic or covalent bonds. This would be easiest. In the real world atoms can make both ionic and covalent bonds in the same molecule. Today we will explore this case with polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are atoms that come together and are covalently bonded, but they have an overall charge allowing them to make ionic bonds as well.

Specific Learning Outcomes


Students will be able to draw Lewis Structures of polyatomic ions bonded covalently and ionically
